ICONIC/IRONIC new paintings by Lapata

2008-02-04T07:02:51Z

Bollyhood Cafe Presents:
ICONIC/IRONIC

NEW PAINTINGS by Lapata

February 7-March 6, 2008

--> OPENING RECEPTION Thursday, February 7, 6-9 PM

--> BHANGRA by Duniya Dance Company 8 PM

About Lapata:
Lapata (pronounced ‘láh-putt-áh’), the artist's takhallus, or alias, is Urdu for “missing,” or “absconded,” as in “my luggage is missing,” or “the bandits have absconded.”
She also writes for the blog Chapati Mystery and posts many of her paintings there.
Lapata grew up in a family of artists in western Massachusetts, some whose work adorns the surfaces of chinaware and
brightens up the waiting rooms of dentists’ offices, and others whose artistic output has found more select audiences.
From 1992-2006, Lapata made a foray into Academia and ended up with a PhD in South Asian literature, a phase about which the less said, the better.

Call for Art, Art Outside 2008, Austin TX

2008-01-22T06:35:59Z

Calling ALL Artists For The 4th Annual Art Outside Brouhaha! March 6th – 16th 2008.
To take part in AO|08 Go Here- http://www.artoutside.org/

Ladies and gentlemen of the art world, we are seeking any and all creative humans who use their skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others. That is, we are looking for those whose life is art, and everything they do is DIY. We are searching for those who are creating the Hand-Made Nation. We are calling !ALL! make-believers, dreamers and reality re-arrangers. We are searching hi and low for lowbrow-urban-contemporary-pop-surrealism, pop art, op art, hard-edge, lyrical abstraction, post minimalism, which might be interpreted by some to mean that we are looking only for painters, but that is most definitely not the case. For you see, of course, we need masters of typography, sketchers, illustrators, satirical stencilers, screen printing is way cool, and yes, you too, graffiti fools. Least we forget every culture jammer in the hood. Do you manipulate earth/land/sand/plants/junk into art? Then we have a home for you.

Now, we know some of you may be thinking “What about Dadas’ Dadaists, though?” To this we say, but of course we are calling all inspired by DADA- for where would art be without fluxists, productivism, neoplasticism, pittura, metafisica, arbeitsrat and bauhaus. Well, we are looking for all of “you” from then and now, if any of you still are around. And one may wonder… What about the cubists? We say, “But of course.” Conceptualists? Indeed. Installationists? Please! One might ask if we are seeking anything that might fall under postmodernist modernist who are not distracted by abstractionists and other IST’S. Of course there is always impressionism, post-minimalism, pre-contemporaryism, and expressionism. Are you working in symbolism or surrealism or any of the other -isms that we have not yet mentioned? Well come on out. But wait that’s not all, that could not possibly be all this call for ARTE is all about? Well, Dali you’re right,

This call goes out to all kinetic sculptors, fire sculptors, sound artists bending invisible waves, and video projectionists playing with light. We must invite the minds of the poets and their spoken slam voices, along with improv comedians who mimic the true history of time. Or was that the klown? How can we forget about the klowns! Mimes? Performers “performing” art, puppeteers with their puppets, musicians making sounds. Oh, and least we forget outsider artists wanting to be outside.

In short, we invite all the conceivable movements, modes, and theories of art known to wo/man kind. We say to you, the Artisans of the world who wish to unite because the world needs ART, because the world’s not right. It is time, Your window of opportunity is now. Our space is your blank canvas. Your dreams are our inspiration. You and your art are invited to take part in this epic artistic endeavor.

The world may be going to hell… So let’s make some art.

To take part in AO|08 Go Here- http://www.artoutside.org/ao08faq.htm

P.S. If we happened to have forgotten any form of ART in this call for art then we do deeply apologize. Please note that you too are invited.

affordable live/work space?

2008-01-21T16:05:58Z

Hi... I'm planning to move to the bay area soon, and am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for affordable live/work space. Anything works for me... warehouse space, communal space. Otherwise, just a creative household. If anyone knows of anything available, or just advice as to where to look, it would be helpful. Thanks.

free art critique group on 1st and third saturdays

2008-01-16T03:09:51Z

Art making is a solitary, individual activity. Artists create alone and in isolation, often without input nor suggestion. But in gathering together in critique meetings artists can show and share their work with other artists to get - and to give - input and insight; as a way to learn, grow, develop and evolve in one's work. Artists can explore the issues and problems in their art work, engaging each other in open discussion of individual artistic goals. Artists can help each other develop, understand and explore each others'visions. And in this coming together, perhaps, begin in the grassroots building of personal artistic community.

San Francisco mixed media artist, James Walsh will facilitate but you will be required to participate in an informal, and kind mind format. This is not an art class or demonstration, it is for artists who: Want feedback on a new series? Looking for new mat?erials? Is the piece done yet? Pricing? Framing ideas/presentation

Please bring 1-3 pieces of your 'work in progress' OR finished works to share. We will together view and discuss each other's work in turn.
TRANSPORTATION: Montgomery BART/MUNI; 38 Geary bus; all Market lines....
DATES: FIRST AND THIRD SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH: January 19
TIME: 10am to noon
COST: FREE RSVP: Space is limited to 8 artists RSVP before the Friday prior to the scheduled session - to ensure your place.
For questions or to RSVP: Email to workshops@artworksf.com or call (415) 673-3080.

TOU problems ?

2008-01-08T20:18:16Z

Have any of you had problems with TOU regarding the content of your work...
Not due to harassment, or flaming, or any other self serving personal drama...

But because the content was generally unacceptable because Tribe found it unseemly...
or violated people's boundaries ?

for instance this painting of michelangelo's was removed several times...

camp in Tuva

2007-11-27T05:49:03Z

Dear Friends

Thank you for your interest to our music.

Last summer we held a throat singing camp in Tuva.

We had 14 students from around the world - 8 of them were from the US, 2 from Australia
2 from Denmark, 1 from France, 1 from England.
After arriving in Tuva, the students spent 1 week in Kyzyl, the capital city.
They were able to see many tourist attractions, see a Tuvan shaman,
and attend the Naadym - National Harvest Celebration.

The students then went on to spend 1 week in the deep taiga, with members of the Tuvan throat singing group Chirgilchin,
learning various styles of throat singing, traditional Tuvan instruments, as well as the Tuvan language.

This summer, we are trying to get 2 groups to go to Tuva again, in either June or July.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Please check our photos made by Russell Roesner - our student.

Thank you

Each guest can choose a piece of art to take home, and may purchase additional tickets (also $20-40) to trade for additional paintings, drawings, photos, sculptures, collages, or body prints. Guests can also cover holiday shopping needs by purchasing more art and desirables from Nude Aid's silent auction.

Objectification - Gala Opening!

2007-09-20T04:35:11Z

A photographic exhibit by Chris English in association with Citadel, (http://sfcitadel.org).

The show will run from October through December 2007 and there will be a Gala Opening on Sunday, Oct 21, from 3pm - 6pm.

For several years now I have been shooting the fabulous and gorgeous live models who grace the front windows of the Dark Garden Corsetry, (http://darkgarden.com), booth at the Dickens Fair, (http://dickensfair.com). I occasionally take a paraphelia shot - a picture of a boot, or a glove or the like.

In fall of 2006, I walked up to the window to shoot a picture of a model's boot, (and her single tail whip), and what with standing not two feet away from her, albeit separated by a pane of glass, I found myself embarrassed to be so obviously shooting her boot.

I noticed my embarrassment, backed up for a few seconds, and then proceeded to shoot the boot anyway. But the experience got me to thinking about how it's socially acceptable to shoot some parts of a person but not other parts and how shooting certain parts can be perceived as offensive.

So I challenged myself to take at least one shot of each model that did not include her eyes. The photographs included in this show are the result of that self challenge.

Stealing Time: Making Art in the Time Between

Instructor: Michelle Townsend
6 class meetings
Dates: September 12, 19, October 3, 10, 24, November 7, 14
Time: 7-10 pm
Tuition: $150
While many creative people--artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers-- pursue these professions full-time, others choose career paths that allow for greater financial stability, often postponing or abandoning their artistic aspirations in the process. This class helps would-be artists kick-start or rediscover their creative pursuits by providing the tools to begin and maintain regular artistic practice. An equally important goal of Stealing Time is each student's development and completion of a self-designed project. The class will meet for 6 sessions over a 9-week period. During the gaps between meetings, students will work on their projects independently, developing the habits they'll employ after the course concludes.

Students should bring to class the kernel of an idea they wish to develop, as well as a willingness to engage their peers in meaningful dialogue. The course is open visual artists, writers, and musicians, as well as those who have a creative itch to scratch but haven't yet chosen a medium.

Artist Discussion Salon & CELLspace Call to Arms

2007-09-07T20:57:25Z

We have been planning this discussion on arts and media production for some time but it's even more appropriate in the face of what is going on. Keep your eyes peeled for the new Executive Director of Black Rock Arts Foundation, joining us for panel discussion!

Artist Salon and Reception for the Expo for the Artist and Musician
Thursday, September 13th 7:30-10:30
CELLSpace (2050 Bryant) SF

free admission
free drinks and snacks
arts and media panels - discussion and Q&A

live music - visual art show
puppetry workshop(canceled due to CELLspace woes, see below)
sewing class

This salon is part of the lead-in for an astounding event happening at SomArts that weekend, designed to bring artists, musicians, and the people who make it all happen together to meet each other and talk about their work. At CELLSpace we will have an art show in the gallery, puppetry and sewing workshops in the loft, musicians, free drinks and food, and panel discussions. The discussions will revolve around the ideas of producing arts, media, and change from a non-profit and for-profit perspective. What are the benefits of each format? How can artists navigate the world between the two for maximum freedom and maximum funding? Bay Area heavies from both sides of the fence will discuss why they have chosen the structure that they have and how they use it to get what they want.

BREAKING NEWS - CELLspace is facing massive crisis and needs your help! We will give the microphone to someone from the organization who can tell you all about what is going on and how you can get involved. Get your news fresh from the trenches. We love this community resource and want to fight to keep it! http://pandorastrunk.com http://artsandmedia.net/expo

the Greenhouse Project needs your help!

2007-08-12T01:17:00Z

Greetings Friends, Family, and Co-conspirators,

The Greenhouse Project is about to make its way halfway across the country to Burning Man. It's an exciting time, the Project is drawing attention from people nation wide and will be included in a little documentary vignette that will air on Sundance. We've got great placement, and if you're going to be in Black Rock City, be sure and stop by. We'll be 1900' from the Man, near the Temple. We're leaving Aug 21, and until then, I'm working feverishly on making this installation something we can all be proud of. And I need your help!

*******************************************************************

These are the things I need most urgently to make it happen:

*ART! of all mediums (exploring concepts of growth/decay, natural cycles & phenomena, birth/life/death, etc., recycled & found objects highly encouraged)

*Offerings and sacrifices (What would you offer your future/present/past self in order to heal/create/bless your own life? What would you give the earth to symbolize your commitment to creating a greener world? What gift would you give to show gratitude for all that you have and all that you will become?)

*Natural found objects -- shells, rocks, plants, bones, dirt, water, etc. (any loose materials should be put in jars or other sealed containers so as not to create a MOOP hazard (matter out of place) I have a few jars/containers on hand we can use for this purpose).

*Fabrics (exotic, sheer, animal skin/fur/leather (faux or recycled real))

*Lights! (of all colors and kinds -- rope light, xmas lights, LEDs, clamp lights, etc etc etc). Muy importante!

*Paint (acrylic preferred, but I'll take what I can get) brushes, and permanent markers

And these are the things I also need and am prepared to buy unless someone gifts or loans them to me:

*2 or 3 Deep cycle marine batteries 12V
*Solar panel(s) to charge batteries
*Sturdy plastic bins to pack stuff in

*********************************************************************

If you have donations to make, you can check out the Project in progress -- in person!-- and drop them off at my home in South Austin. I welcome individuals and groups of visitors who wish to see the Project before it heads to BM. Please call or email for directions and to coordinate times. If you have trouble getting to South Austin, we can try to meet somewhere more central if that works better for you.

And if you feel compelled to contribute but don't have any of the stuff on the wishlist, we'd gladly take money donations to help offset building and transportation costs. I'd love to see you in person too, but in case you can't make it to my house, you can make a donation through Paypal. My Paypal acct is under lauraleanalle@gmail.com Every dollar helps!

You can also track the progress of the Greenhouse Project from the comfort of your own home. Here: http://lauraleanalle.livejournal.com/ and here: http://people.tribe.net/earth2LL

*********************************************************************

And let me conclude by saying how thankful I am for the overwhelming amount of support and encouragement and love I have received from many of you individually and the community as a whole. This has been one of the most unbelievable experiences of my life thanks to all of you who have lent support in both big and little ways. I am filled with so much love and gratitude for everything everyone has done and said. It's really just beautiful way beyond belief or anything I could have ever imagined. So, I thank you, thank you, thank you!

With Love and Light (and paint all over me),
Laura Lea

Ideas for Contemporary Morality Story / Fine Art Photo Shoot

2007-06-28T22:14:16Z

I need your help - your brainstormed ideas . . .

I am starting to organize a story that is a morality play or sorts for my 6 year old Godson, whom I coparent. It will include a yound man setting off in the world and encountering archetypal beings and situations that engage him and end up teaching him somthing essential about living a fulfilling life. the main character will be discussing these situations and beings with a wise person from time to time. I am an artist. You can see some of my work on my profile pics. I will be doing a photo shoot (B&W infrareds) for every chapter in the story. I will be compiling the story and images into a small, hand bound book. I'l make about 100 editions of the book.

What I need help on is the story:
* What do you think the most important things are to learn and integrate to live a fulfilling life?
* What are the best ways to deal with disapointment and loss, with death?
* What are the most essential archetypal situations that teach us the most about living a fulfilling life?
* What archetypal characters teach us the most about living a connected, passionate, and loving life?
* What situations would you create to teach the main Character the foundations of a connected, passionate, and loving life?

Any ideas will be most appreciated.

Anyone going to the Juxtapoz Party tomorrow night, June 9th?

2007-06-09T05:15:20Z

I want to submit some of my art to the magazine, but you have to do it in person. I live in Austin, so this is impractical, though I've been known to hop on a plane for stuff like that, but not tomorrow. Maybe next month. Anyways, anyone willing to burn a disc with a few of my images on it and take it down there?

Laura Lea www.earth2LL.com

Here's the info I received from them:

Juxtapoz Magazine, Upper Playground & ArtNowSF present:

GET EXPOSED!

Everyone's always asking us, "How can I get my art in the magazine?" Finally, we have an answer!

Come to 111 Minna on Saturday, June 9th, bring a compact disc with five HIGH-QUALITY images of your best artwork, cross your fingers, grab a beverage, and hang out. One person from each month's event will be included as an Artist Profile in an upcoming issue of Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine. At the end of our run, we will have a show at 111 Minna featuring our favorites from the submitted works.

You must submit in person at the event. You may have a friend submit your artwork, but if you are selected, you must be able to attend the final show in San Francisco. Note: We ask that you do not submit original artwork.

The party starts at 9pm... get there before 11pm and pay only $5, $10 after. 111 Minna is a drinky-drinking kinda place so you must be 21+ and you must bring your ID.
